I'm contemplating on painting mine a krinkle coat red like Honda does to their red valve covers. Might do black though, not sure..

What have you guys done to your RB valve covers? I see some of you have polished them. Do they stay pretty clean after you polish them up?

Discuss. :oface

PS: Post a picture if possible.

no you should run one for daily driving... i'm assuming these were taken off for the pictures and/or track use. Sucking stuff into your turbo (and eventually your motor) is BAD;)

those graphite ones look sexy as hell! I might do my CA covers that color... they look alot like you guy's rb covers:)
